In 1961 entered two teams(A + B) into the new Poole & District League.

The club was presented with a new set of starting gates by the Poole outlet of British Drug Houses Ltd, a major national Chemical company, this being featured in an article published by the Poole & Dorset Herald newspaper.

Poole's deputy Borough Engineer, Mr R.F. Hawker, performed the track's opening ceremony during the second week of April 1961, after which a challenge match was ridden against a visiting select side.
